Puppy Behavior Fix-It Plan
You brought a puppy home and one behavior is driving the whole house crazy (jumping on every guest, pulling like a freight train on leash, mouthing the kids, potty regression, crate whining, resource guarding, counter surfing, or door dashing). Describe the puppy in a few lines and get a 14 day day-by-day training plan back: short daily sessions with a word-for-word script you can read out loud, a reward schedule that shifts across the two weeks, family consistency rules so one relative does not undo it, an explicit extinction burst warning for the day 3 to day 5 regression window, and success milestones on day 4, day 7, day 14 you can tick off. Positive reinforcement only in the AKC and Preventive Vet tradition; never choke chains, never prong collars, never e-collars, never alpha rolls, never dominance framing. If your safety notes describe a bite that broke skin, aggression toward a child, or fear biting over food or toys, the plan refuses and routes you to a certified behaviorist at iaabc.org or a veterinary behaviorist instead.
